Chapter 597: Chapter 597: The Beautiful Life in the Princess Consort’s Heart

Jiang Ning hurried back to his courtyard, only to find Gucheng squatting on a tree like a lonely black owl, tilting his head.

“Hey, Gucheng, good morning!” Jiang Ning raised his hand and greeted him.

Gucheng looked down, as if he didn’t expect Jiang Ning’s way of greeting, hesitated for a moment, then responded, “Morning.”

Jiang Ning chuckled and looked up at his beautiful, rosy and well-rested face, asking, “Didn’t I tell you to sleep a little longer? There’s no rush since we’re already out.”

Gucheng stayed silent for a moment, then said, “I see.”

“How long do you usually sleep every day?”

“Three hours.”

“Three hours…” Jiang Ning did a calculation in his heart, “That’s six hours, which is too little for a child of your age. You should ensure you sleep at least four hours a day.”

It seemed that Gucheng understood, and then maybe he didn’t, only slowly responding, “I see.”

“Remember, from now on, sleep at least four hours every night before getting up. If you want to sleep a bit more, you can. Just make sure you’ve had enough rest.”

“I see.”

“Ah, change your words.”

“I see.”

“… I’ll go in and pack up, we’ll set off soon.” Jiang Ning wisely decided to end the conversation with him, rushed into the house, picked up his two precious babies, kissed one’s soft cheek, and then the other’s beautiful little face, “Have you all had breakfast?”

Wenzan nodded obediently, “Waiting for Queen Mother.”

Lingzi said, “Queen Mother is sleeping in, so embarrassed.”

Jiang Ning laughed heartily, and kissed her face vigorously, “Sleeping in during winter is the happiest thing in life, don’t give it up.”

Chunlai and a few other maids were walking around, packing things up.

Xiaoman sat in the doorway under the porch, watching the snow and then looking at Gucheng squatting on the tree. Her naïve, round face was full of innocence and cuteness.

Jiang Ning suddenly didn’t want to leave.

Guarding this snowy courtyard, with parents, siblings, soft and adorable babies, as well as Gucheng and Xiaoman, along with the maids of varying personalities but all loyal.

In her heart, this was her dream of a happy life.

But she also knew that in order to protect the peace and beauty of this courtyard, she needed to go out and fight.

Fight until she had the right to protect this beauty.

Huang Ying brought over a makeup box, “Master, everything is packed. Let me comb your hair, and then we should return to the palace.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Ning nodded and sat down before the mirror.

Huang Ying carefully combed her hair, tied it up in a bun and secured it with a hairpin. Long tassels dangled gently, creating a brilliant look.

Her face glowed translucently against the backdrop.

“It’s so heavy,” Jiang Ning complained, “I don’t want hairpins, take off the bun too, just let it down. It’s warmer too.”

Huang Ying just laughed, “You can do whatever you want in our courtyard. But going out and returning to the palace, you can’t be disheveled. What kind of image would that show?”

Jiang Ning touched the gorgeous hairpin and remained silent.

Once everything was packed, Lin Zizi, Jiang Yi, the two aunts, and Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan all came to see her off.

Jiang Ning said goodbye to them individually and noticed Jiang Yuan’s finger wrapped in cloth, laughing, “If you can’t sew, don’t. It’s not like you can’t find an embroiderer. Who says you have to embroider your own wedding gown?”

Jiang Yuan’s face turned red, “It’s none of your business.”
